I feel like most people here would agree that races are won in the shop/garage before you ever make it to the race track. The passion of being a gear head is what makes drag racing (and class racing even more so IMO) so much fun, and it doesn't sound like your son has that.

You clearly are NOT understanding my comments, those are your words not mine. My son does in fact work on the cars. Besides the weekly maintenance, a few years ago, he was competing in a big $ event without me and hurt the engine. Rather than packing up and going home, he pulled the engine, and installed our spare not only without me, but without any help! That said, working on the cars is not fun and I've been doing for over 50 years but I do it because back in the day I couldn't afford to pay someone and now because there are few, really only 2 that I trust to work on my race cars. Last, FYI, the best at what we do will tell you he is the furthest thing from a gearhead and that without other people working on his race cars he wouldn't be who he is.

From what I've heard from people close to your son, he really doesn't care anything about drag racing and wouldn't compete were it not for you and I think I just found out why.

and you've heard wrong, you're talking to the jealous haters. My son is very competitive, puts the work in to be the best at everything he does, there is no half assed effort, there is no it's good enough that's why he races and that's why he will be a millionaire within 2 years!
